I wonder if they had separated - as she is not with her husband in the late 1930s.

Looks like there are a few children the family didn't know about. Very interesting. Thank you.

The surname Smith tallies with one of Johanna Grace's sisters Katie Thorburn Smith.

Harrygeorge -- you could obtain a copy of the probate found by Osprey -- it will only cost £1.50 and you can order on line. You will receive an email when it's ready to view.

There MAY just be another clue in it.
